Caption: Figure 2.
Left: the stellar-mass CDFs for the hosts of LFBOTs (blue; median and 68% interval), SNe II (purple dashed line), SNe Ibc (orange dotted line), SNe Ibn (green), SLSNe-I (pink), and LGRBs (yellow). LFBOT hosts are more massive than those of SLSNe-I and have statistically similar stellar-mass distributions to SNe Ibc, Ibn, II, and LGRB hosts. Right: the sSFR CDFs for the same transient populations. LFBOT hosts are less star-forming than SLSN-I hosts, and more star-forming than CCSNe (SNe II, Ibc, and Ibn) hosts. LFBOT hosts’ sSFR distribution is not statistically distinct from that of LGRB hosts.
